Young Leah Pipes is fresh out of drug rehab and now moved into a new town where her parents and sister Kristin Cavallari have previously moved. There's a country legend connected with this small Texas town where a bus load of school kids were run down when their school bus got stuck on a railroad track. Or what was the real story, the secret that the town isn't crazy to get out even though this happened 40 years earlier.
Because she nearly died of a drug overdose Pipes had a near death experience and one of the dead kids keeps trying to communicate with her. Of course her clueless parents think Pipes is still drugging, her mother Sally Kirkland is incredibly unsympathetic. For no apparent reason that I can see.
The real story is quite a twist, but the story is poorly written with roles making no sense and why everyone is believing that poor Pipes is the cause of a lot of more recent tragedy makes no sense at all. Lou Diamond Phillips as a teacher/guidance counselor and Geoffrey Lewis as the former mayor of the town now the town drunk are wasted in their roles, especially Phillips whose whole character makes no sense to me.
Josh Henderson the current John Ross Ewing on the revived Dallas is also here as a sympathetic boyfriend to Pipes and Andrew Lawrence of the Lawrence brothers of Philadelphia is the school bully who Pipes gives a bad case of blue gonads to. Also wasted.
Fingerprints is a strange film which should have stuck to either being a ghost or a slasher flick. I would have preferred the ghost genre. There were elements of the classic Changeling here, but not well used.
